Golden crumbed fish and crisp potato wedges from the oven, served with peas and lemon.

Ingredients

Serves 4.

  • 1 lb frozen white fish fillets (cod, pollock or tilapia), thawed overnight in the fridge
  • 2 oz panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1.75 lb russet potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 2¼ cups frozen peas
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste

Contains: wheat (gluten), egg, fish. Check the label: milk. Always read the labels if you cook for someone with an allergy.

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the smoked paprika and salt on a baking tray and roast for 20 minutes.
  2. Pat the fish dry. Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, mix the panko with the grated zest of the lemon, the rest of the oil, and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  3. Dip each fillet in the egg, then press into the crumbs. Lay on a second lined baking tray. Wash your hands after handling the raw fish.
  4. Turn the wedges and bake the fish alongside for 12–15 minutes, until the crumbs are golden and the fish is cooked through and flakes easily (145°F).
  5. Meanwhile, cook the peas in boiling water for 3 minutes and drain. Serve everything with lemon wedges.
Tip: Forgot to thaw the fish? Seal it in a bag and leave it in a bowl of cold water for 30–60 minutes, changing the water every 30 minutes, then pat it very dry so the crumbs stay crisp.

Leftovers: Best eaten fresh; leftovers keep 1 day in the fridge and reheat in the oven until piping hot.
